recon-all issue in vmPFC with high-res T1/T2 data {Disarmed}
by Ben Deen 08 Jan '21

08 Jan '21

External Email - Use Caution Hi all, I'm encountering an issue with surface reconstruction quality in ventromedial prefrontal cortex, using relatively high resolution (.8mm) T1- and T2-weighted input data to recon-all. I'm using the following command, with Freesurfer 7.1.1 running on Mac OS 10.15.7 (freesurfer-darwin-macOS-7.1.1-20200811-8b40551; the options file specifies "mris_inflate -n 30"): recon-all -s ${subject} -i T1w.nii.gz -all -hires -expert ${optsFile} -T2 T2w.nii.gz -T2pial Across four participants I've tested with this approach, there is a consistent reconstruction issue with the gyrus rectus and medial orbital gyrus, in which they are cut off in the white and pial surfaces (see images at https://secure-web.cisco.com/1YjHwYMb6FHlCVkbgjtpceoj_IZMMa8YVArerusSJpfEDY… it's particularly clear against the T2 image). I've tried to correct the issue by manually modifying wm.mgz to include all wm voxels in these gyri. However, when I do so and rerun autorecon2-wm, the orig surface improves to incorporate the edits to wm.mgz, but the white/pial surfaces do not. By debugging individual steps of recon-all, I've found that the -white step seems to be to blame for this: when I rerun this step, the output white.preaparc surface doesn't change to incorporate my edits to wm.mgz. Any thoughts as to what might be causing these issues - both the initial reconstruction problem, and the failure to update with manual edits? There is some signal dropout in the T1 image in this region, which may contribute to the issue, although I would hope the T2 image could compensate for this. Thanks, Ben

Hi, I got the following error running tracula: "Error: data and bvals/bvecs do not contain the same number of entries" Could this be because my bvals/bvecs are in the row format and not column?

Different installers of same FreeSurfer version for preprocessing vs. edits
by lynn.fehlbaum＠jacobscenter.uzh.ch 07 Jan '21

07 Jan '21

External Email - Use Caution Dear FreeSurfer experts, I'd have a quick question on using different installers for the FreeSurfer 7.1.1. release for preprocessing and manual edits: We initially preprocessed our data using the freesurfer-linux-centos7_x86_64-7.1.0-20200511-813297b installer, but have accidentally used freesurfer-linux-centos6_x86_64-7.1.0-20200511-813297b to edit the pial surface. According to the recommendation of using identical versions of FreeSurfer for all processing steps, we plan on re-creating the final surfaces and compute further analyses using freesurfer-linux-centos7. However, is it okay to use the brainmask files that were edited using freesurfer-linux-centos6 or would we need to edit the files from anew using freesurfer-linux-centos7? Any help is highly appreciated! Kind regards, Lynn

[Freeview] [AnatomiCuts] Usage of embedded colors in tract visualizer + AC runtime error
by Pietro Astolfi 06 Jan '21

06 Jan '21

External Email - Use Caution Hi, In the last days I searched for documentation about the use of embedded colors when visualizing tracts in freeview. I wasn’ t able to find any information online. I also tried to obtain a tract containing the embdedd colors information by using `dmri_AnatomiCuts` (both with fs 7.1.0 on OS X and dev version on Ubuntu ), but despite many trials I always got the same runtime error: terminating with uncaught exception of type std::runtime_error: Gak! Abort trap: 6 If anyone could help me it would be very appreciated, Best, Pietro Pietro Astolfi PhD student ICT school - University of Trento NILab - Bruno Kessler Foundation PAVIS - Italian Institute of Technology -- -- Le informazioni contenute nella presente comunicazione sono di natura privata e come tali sono da considerarsi riservate ed indirizzate esclusivamente ai destinatari indicati e per le finalità strettamente legate al relativo contenuto.

creating labels on surfaces with Freeview 7.1.1
by Trisanna Sprung-Much 06 Jan '21

06 Jan '21

External Email - Use Caution Hi there, I am looking for instructions on how to create/edit my own labels directly on surfaces using the latest version of Freesurfer/Freeview but I cannot seem to find this documentation. My understanding is that an annotation file has multiple labels and a look up table. What if I want to just create 1 label? When I go to Annotation --> New and create a label and assign a name and colour, I get the following msg when I try to save: "There are unassigned labels in the annotation. Please assign all the labels first" Any help would be greatly appreciated, Trisanna

[Brainstem Substructures] Resolution of the image "brainstemSsLabels.v10.mgz"
by ganmian 05 Jan '21

05 Jan '21

External Email - Use Caution Hi, I am using a FreeSurfer v6.0 to analyze volumetric features of brainstem substructures. While reading the document about brainstem module (BrainstemSubstructures - Free Surfer Wiki (harvard.edu) <https://secure-web.cisco.com/1S-b5rCCfiUM_20r5cYkwhXu2P25IPqutTefsWepu1yx8D…>), I was confused by the following sentence: *| brainstemSsLabels.v1x.mgz*: the volume with the segmentation at 0.333 mm resolution because if I load the file "brainstemSsLabels.v10.mgz" using nibabel and check the zoom, it seems to have 0.5 mm resolution. The following is the result of my code: >> img = nib.load('brainstemSsLabels.v10.mgz') >> print(img.affine) [[ -0.5 0. 0. 43. ] [ 0. 0. 0.5 -39. ] [ 0. -0.5 0. 33. ] [ 0. 0. 0. 1. ]] >> print(img.header.get_zooms()) (0.5, 0.5, 0.5) >> print(img.header) <class 'nibabel.freesurfer.mghformat.MGHHeader'> object, endian='>' version : 1 dims : [170 201 138 1] type : 3 dof : 1 goodRASFlag : 1 delta : [0.5 0.5 0.5] Mdc : [[-1. 0. 0.] [ 0. 0. -1.] [ 0. 1. 0.]] Pxyz_c : [ 0.5 -4.5 -17.25] tr : 0.0 flip_angle : 0.0 te : 0.0 ti : 0.0 fov : 0.0 I wonder if the description of the document is not correct. Could you please check if which is correct? My environment is as follows: - FreeSurfer version: freesurfer-Linux-centos6_x86_64-stable-pub-v6.0.0-2beb96c - OS: Ubuntu 18.04 Thank you! Best regards Eunpyeong Hong
